I love everything happening in it:the musical world of the most influential group of all time -it will infuriate the Velvet Underground's fans but sorry ,the Beatles are second to none when it comes to influence the whole world- on the screen. Anyway, a great, great classic.Īlthough they do not appear -unless the three final minutes count-,this is my Beatles favorite film by far.Dunning 's dazzling work revolutionized the cartoons as Walt Disney did thirty years before with "SnowWhite". That's why they were originally not too thrilled with the announcement of this animated film.) There is a reason why these scenes are deleted, to allow classics like this to flow so easily on the screen.

The song "Hey, bulldog." is added toward the end (A scene where the fab four meet up with a bunch of the Blue Meanies' bulldogs, and defeat them with the power of music.) The scene looks hastily slapped together,like something out The Beatles cartoon series (which was hated by the real life Liverpool lads. We will always remember the sixties pop-art imagery along with some of the best dialog to grace cartoon-land ("I haven't had so much fun since Pompeii.""I'm a born lever puller.") not to mention some of the best music to come from the best set of musicians the 20th century has produced! This is a kid's film at heart (wild adventures in strange distant lands, weird monsters, loud over bearing villians.) My only criticism is in the re-mastering, in 1999. Next to FANTASIA, YELLOW SUBMARINE is one the best animated feature films ever made.

Definitely worth watching, just because there simply isn't any movie like it. I would name it one of the top 20 animated films of all time, really. Overall this works great as a musical or as an animated film, and there's definitely a lot of priceless, subtle dialog. The songs are fit in very, very well (although "Nowhere Man" is undoubtedly the best sequence). The colors, landscapes, and creatures are just really different and vivid and vibrant.
The animation isn't great, but everything is just done so strange and fun that it becomes absolutely irresistible.
The Beatles' descent into Pepperland is just one psychedelic scene after the other. The movie itself is arguably the most psychedelic ever made. There are lots of Beatles in jokes, George's fascination with Indian music and John's fascination with scientific theories are lampooned, the Beatles' power is joked about ("Nothing's Beatle Proof!") and poor old Ringo is just plain made fun of. 'Yellow Submarine' is a visual stunner and an extremely well-scripted movie.
